PWC Requirements The board of governors of Prince | _ of Wales College has submitted its first annual budget to the Executive | ‘Council. In it is. underlined the mounting requirements for educa | “tion, and the need for bringing PWC revenue and expenditures to a level . approaching normal in this area. The salary item is up $98,884; from $301,116 in 1965 to $400,000 in 1966. - This increase results from an estim- ated $90,000 for new staff for the - year ending March 31, 1967, and for firemen’s salaries amounting to $9,000 which were previously met by the Department of Public Works.

One ‘of our greatest leaks of train- ed manpower has hitherto been the exodus of young Islanders following sophomore year of PWC to other provinces. The~ brief accompanying the budget estimates that 90 per cent of PWC-graduates-have-gone to main-

land colleges. It is noted, too, that provincial government : expenditure on the college has been ‘unusually modest”: In the past decade it rose very slowly from $230 per student in 1955-56 to $355 per student in 1963-64 and, on the basis of the es- timates for 1965-66, it has. dropped sharply~to $215 because of the in- creased number of students. During

’this period the number of university students (3rd and 4th years) has in- créased five times, from 77 in 1955-56 to 408 in 1965-66. . -

The results, as the brief states, are evident in the fact that Prince of Wales’ salaries are the lowest in, Canada. They do not even compare ‘properly with those ofischools in this province. Besides-the low provincial

unique in public colleges in Canada— by: which the government keeps the ~- fees and the federal university grant. In‘effect, since 1961 the government of Canada has simply been subsidiz- ing the government of Prince Edward Island by the amount of this grant, and Prince of Wales has received _ little benefit from it.” :

‘This is surely an unwarranted state of affairs, and explains why the

_budget—for—1966-77-is—_b-a.s-e-d_on-|

sounder proposals. These proposals _ are two. in number: that the legisla- tive appropriation—which has almost always been raised by supplementary - appropriation in mid-year—be: . $587,280, and that. the college retain its’ fees and the federal grant.

that however strong the old customs may be within the party circles, times have changed and the old methods are appearing more and more absurd and unacceptable.

It reminds Mr. Pearson that for

one thing; the House of Commons _

not ‘only raised the payment of all members, and of cabinet members, to a very respectable leve! under his regime; it has also provided all mem- bers of the Commons with pensions— pensions which come into effect after “comparatively brief service. “In ad- dition, all members, of course, have such other benefits as are provided to all citizens. These changes moder-( ate considerably the old claim that

_ an appointment to the Senate was | necessary to take care of those .who

had served in the Commons at low pay and without a pension.

It is also argued that the cost of every Senatorship has to be borne by the Canadian taxpayers. And they are entitled, since their money is to be spent, to have appointments made among those who might make some calculable contribution. This more than ever is reasonable, because the

payment of Senators has gone up, as

| has their pensions.

If the Prime Minister were to make his new appointments in the modern spirit, breaking away from traditions that were never good at

‘} any time and-are less acceptable than.

ever today, The Gazette assures him that he would be giving a new spirit to Parliament. And wouldn't that, it asks, be the best from a political

point of view—as far as making an .

appeal to the public is concerned?

_ It sounds very fine. But we doubt whether Mr. Pearson’s ears. will be attuned to such lofty music. There's too much clamor going on of a dif-

ferent kind, inside the party fold. |

Too many “deserving democrats” of _

his party stripé to be taken care of. too many whose campaign services as fund raisers and whatnot have to be considered. The system may look “absurd and unacceptable” to the out- side public, but to the inner circle _it’s as firmly established as the laws of nature. :

Don't Bet On It

_ For what it is worth, the Canadian _

Institute of Public Opinion figures that over the past twelve years, Lib- erals have bettered their image in the public mind as being the’ best political party for labor, but have lost out to the Conservatives as help- ing farmers best. eas

In 1954, when the Liberals in power, Institute polls show they

stands with about the same figure, in regard to serving Labor best, as did the old CCF. ~

Party Claims First

It is expected now that early action may be taken to fill at least some of the 14 Senate vacancies. This chore devolves upon-Prime Minister Pearson, who -has,already made 11 appointments to the Red Chamber since he took office in 1963. All of them have been made on partisan grounds, but this hasn’t _ prevented newspapers across the country from expressing hope that he’ll turn over a new leaf on this occasion. The

_ Montreal Gazette is the latest to of- fer on this point. It argues

If only they had these calcula- tions to go on before the Nov. 8 election, now, perhaps the pollsters wouldn’t, have blundered so ‘badly in their prognostications as to an over- all Liberal victory.
